Clusters of MAIT cells in human blood and colon biopsies, resulting from high-dimensional bioinformatics analysis. Subpopulations of these defense cells group into colored "continents" according to the markers expressed by the cells. (Image: Department of Biomedicine, Tobias Rutishauser)

The “German Glossary” by Johann Jakob Spreng consists of nearly 100,000 handwritten notes and is stored at the University Library. Basel researchers will now make the largest German dictionary of the 18th century accessible for the first time. (Photo: University of Basel, Florian Moritz)

Development of cartilage tissue from mesenchymal stem/stromal cells after eight weeks in vivo: Inhibition of the signaling pathway of the protein BMP leads to the maintenance of stable cartilage tissue, indicated by red staining (left). In contrast, the control group shows a development towards bone tissue (right). (Image: University of Basel, Department of Biomedicine)

Using the atomic force microscope’s carbon monoxide functionalized tip (red/silver), the forces between the tip and the various atoms in the graphene ribbon can be measured. The smallest forces are measured between the tip and the boron atom (light brown). The carbon atoms (silver) and the nitrogen atoms (blue) can also be clearly identified in the graphene’s hexagonal lattice. (Image: University of Basel, Department of Physics)

Artificial organelles in the scavenger cells of a zebrafish that were made visible by a fluorescent reaction. The fluorescence only occurs when the enclosed peroxidase enzyme is activated and reacts hydrogen peroxide produced by the scavenger cells. The researchers have thus provided evidence that the artificial organelles function in vivo. (Image: University of Basel, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences)
